Notes
Sodium Content: Goya Adobo Seasoning is 350 mg per 1/4 tsp. The recipe above is about 337 mg to 345 mg of Sodium per 1/4 tsp. Adjust the salt how you see fit using the below.
Low Sodium: Use 4 Tbl of Sea Salt, with everything else being the same. Results in about 220 mg per 1/4 tsp.
Medium/Normal: Use 8 Tbl of Sea Salt, with everything else being the same. Results in about 337 to 345 mg in 1/4 tsp.
High Sodium: Use 15 1/2 Tbl (or 1 C minus 1/2 Tbl) of Sea Salt, with everything else being the same or dropping the ingredients by half, including the above salt amounts, so that it can fit in the 8 oz container. Results in 520 mg in 1/4 tsp.
How much to use: 1 tsp of salt contains about 2360 mg of sodium, and most meats need roughly 2000–2360 mg (about 1 tsp) per pound. Since this blend is finely ground, it packs more sodium per teaspoon. Use 1–1½ tsp per lb for a moderate adobo seasoning, or ¾–1 tsp per lb for a high-sodium blend. Adjust to taste and the type of dish, especially if the meat has bones. To which you will want to use less and only season for the meat. Start with less and add more as needed.
